TV- A BOON OR A BANE

TV is the major distraction in the life of a student today. These days students find an easy way to spend time by watching TV and are less interested in reading. In fact, reading is becoming a thing of the past. It also causes harm to the eyes and ears. Concentration power of a child decreases by watching TV. Watching TV involves only eyes and ears. The students are not taking part in outdoor activities because of TV. Watching TV also makes them couch potatoes.
Confined to the ac rooms watching TV is making their health and mind suffer. They are getting deprived of fresh air and atmosphere. They are also getting devoid of healthy outdoor life. Watching TV hours should be restricted to educational programmes like discovery and national geographic. One or two entertaining programmes in a week is sufficient for a child.
So let all of us make an effort to restrict TV watching.

Words of Appreciation

You only spoke against it and about its harmful effects on kids but it is also a source of recreation for the adults which makes a difference in their lives.

Vasundhara Gaekwad

It's true, TV is taking the place of books. My TV has got spoilt for 1 whole year. First I used to complain so much that the TV should be there but now I think it was a good thing. I could concentrate more on my studies and as there was no TV I used to play outside everyday. This article is really good Nayanika. Please keep on writing such articles. They will really be good. Keep it up!

Aayushi

Nayanika your article should be read by all the students. Please keep writing like this. Best of luck!!!

T.V can harm our eyes and ears so we watch t.v one day in a week.

akhand singh 3B

T.V is the major distraction in the life of a student today. Students are more intersted in T.V and less in reading. Reading is becoming a thing of the past.

Firdaus

Your article is well written but T.V can also be informative or a learning experience

shivani

It's not always necessary to point out the negative aspects of something. AS the coin has two faces,televison has also got many benefits.Why we all try to curse something even if when we are using it?

Pavan G

Your article is good but I dont think it is a true article because I guess you have copied from this website of wikianswers.
The website is http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Is_television_a_boon_or_bane

VAISHNAVI

YOUR ARTICLE IS REALLY GOOD. BUT I DONT THINK THAT TV IS ALWAYS A BANE FOR US.LIKE EVERY THING HAS ITS NEGATIVE & POSITIVE POINT,SIMILARLY TV ALSO HAS ITS POSITIVE POINT.BECAUSE WE GET INFORMATION OF LOTS OF THINGS THROUGH TV. LIKE THROUGH NEWS CHANNELS WE COME TO KNOW WHATS GOING IN THE WORLD,THAT ALSO LIVE.

CA. ROHIT JAIN

I agree with your article because for information, newspapers and books are sufficient.

Nayanika Raj

Thanks all the people for all your comments.
Looks like someone copied my article and posted it on http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Is_television_a_boon_or_bane
I wrote it when I was in 6th. In those days, I obviously didnt know much about internet and I couldn't have copied it.

ana pereira

I like your article very much. It depends on us how we use the tv for good or bad.
